A systematic and meta-analysis study on the prevalence of tuberculosis and relative risk factors for prisoners in Iran
CONCLUSION: The frequency of TB among the prisoners in Iran was low. Due to important limitations in this study, it is not possible to indicate the exact prevalence of TB among prisoners in Iran and compare this with the general population. More studies are needed to assess the related risk factor for designing health interventions plan to decrease the incidence rate of TB among prisoners.PMID:34517810 | DOI:10.2174/1871526521666210913111612
